Pelosi officially announces impeachment inquiry

[Tgo01]

Some Republicans are saying Schiff is instructing witnesses to not answer certain questions asked by Republicans in the secret meetings.

See now this is why this should all be out in the open, so we can see for our own eyes if Schiff is being a piece of Schiff or not. I have no reason to believe the Republicans in question are lying, they aren't the ones conducting these secret closed door meetings.

Even you suffering from the worst of TDS must admit this is absolutely fucked up and proves what a charade this whole thing is.

[Tgo01]

Democrats are already saying they might not even hold this vote on Thursday. I wonder if that has anything to do with at least one Democrat stating so far they will vote against whatever it is they are voting on.

Honestly, Democrats, how much more of this bullshit are you willing to put up with? I know Orange Man bad and all, but we still believe in due process and rule of law in this country, don't we?

I think most folks would agree unattributed rumors are nothing but conspiracy fodder for Sean Hannity and Infowars to peddle.

I think most folks would agree unattributed rumors are nothing but conspiracy fodder for everyone, depending on who it benefits, to peddle.

Fixed that for you. CNN and MSNBC have put out tons of unsubstantiated rumors, as has Fox and others.

So two Republicans got before news cameras today and said this was happening, but you chalk that up to "unattributed rumors" while at the same time you defend Democrats holding these secret meetings and leaking only information they want you to hear.

You're not a real person are you? I refuse to believe it.

Also from what I understand this whatever Pelosi wants to call it on Thursday would allow Republicans to call witnesses...but they have to be approved by Schiff. So I ask you again, without you deflecting to conspiracy theory bullshit, are you really still defending this obvious bullshit?

It's actually a brilliant move on her part. Democrats began the impeachment inquiry and they'll be the ones running it, which is their right as the majority. This is how you prevent Trump stooges like McCarthy trying to subpeona Hillary Clinton about Benghazi during their impeachment hearings.

I repeat:

Seran: Two Republicans standing before news cameras and saying Schiff isn't allowing witnesses to answer questions is just unattributed rumors.
Also Seran: It's brilliant that Democrats are actively suppressing Republicans from calling witnesses they want.

Are you Androidpk? You act exactly like him other than not getting into a fit of rage and threatening people every time they say something you don't like. Maybe this is your more even tempered persona?

If you're concerned with president, then I'd refer you to the House resolution H.Res.581 passed to initiate the Clinton impeachment, which only granted subpeona power if both chairman and ranking minority agreed fully, or in that absence if the /entire/ Republican dominated committee or it's designees voted to authorize.

That's subpoenas, I'm not even talking about that. I mean if Republicans want to call a witness they literally have to get Schiff's blessing before said witness can be called.

Welcome to a Republican minority.
